Adam Sandler Acceptance Speech | 2023 Mark Twain Prize

[@DesertDawg-oq5fg]

Guy tells the story of his entire career from childhood. Mentions almost everyone who ever helped him a little bit. What a guy.

[@BethanyNash]

So true. This is a man of true perspective. He hasn’t forgotten even a minute of how he got to where he is. That’s a special quality!!

Adam is one of those rare ones that didn't get fucked up by the industry and actually made everything go right with hard work and good values. The man deserves his fame and awards for his service as an amazing actor and comedian. He is a great role model for future generations.

[@Omnibushido-]

To hell with critics, Adam Sandler is amazing and so are his movies. Sometimes it’s not about how amazing it is from a critics standpoint, it’s about the effect it has on your life. The memories and laughs it created for yourself and the people you care about. When I’d get sick as a child, my mom would put on an Adam Sandler movie and lay in bed with me until I fell asleep. Now as an adult I still put on my favorite Adam Sandler movies when I’m sick, it almost feels like a warm hug from my mom. Takes me back to her rubbing my stomach and putting cool washcloths on my forehead. Nothing compares to that feeling, and this may sound like a dumb joke, but watching Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy or Mr. Deeds takes me back to that for a moment.

[@knkaitlog]

I think he is funny, I love Jack and Jill. I dont care what people say. I understand if its a shit film for them, but I found it funny. and I love almost every Happy Madison film. and I know Adam is best when in his non-comedy films.

People still give him crap because they don't like the style he uses. Yet Reign Over Me, Uncut Gems, Hustle, and Punch-Drunk Love are all great movies that showed he isn't just a corny comedian.

I had the opportunity to see him on his stand up tour this a few months ago and it was one of the greatest things I’ve seen in person. He murdered that night and ended with a heartfelt tribute to Chris Farley. Brought tears to everyone in the stadium after making us laugh for almost 2 hours. Adam Sandler is one of the greatest people to ever exist

[@hsylvester6132]

Adam is a storyteller and isn't fancy about it. Sometimes he actually makes a pearl clutcher clutch but his work has heart. Well deserved.

[@imeldatorres8956]

Adam you earned this award u've worked hard and u're such a great person. U're so real and humble even after all ur success you stay humble that's a beautiful thing.

[@sweetpapa]

I teared up. Adam has a huge heart. Sweet and funny. One of the things I took away from his speech is that he's true to himself. He doesn't dwell on the negative cuz that holds him back from doing the things that he loves and look at all the amazing things he's accomplished.

[@theycallmek3v]

Not only did Adam Sandler give us The Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison & Mr. Deeds (just to name a few), he also gave us years of friendship, commitment to comedy no matter what the critics said, and an indescribable legacy that his movies couldn’t touch…but a kind soul that we don’t see much nowadays from Hollywood. He only cares about making movies and having fun while doing it. His fans and family are what means the most to him and i hope he knows that his passion and love for moving making is something that inspires all cinephiles everywhere ❤

[@mindbomb2000]

Well said. My favourite Sandler film is Punch Drunk Love. He took his comedy instincts and helped create a masterpiece.

I can't this of a less deserving comedian to win this prize. He must be the least funny comedian in the world.

He has got to be the most humble, gracious, good hearted famous person ever.

[@jasonspatafore5843]

He is among the legends and I don't think he truly realizes it in his soul. He will. Well deserved and many more to come!

[@hermanmunster714]

He deserves this for sure. Made a few lemons but 98% of his movies are wonderful and can be watched over and over again. He surrounds himself with equally funny people and they all bring out their best. CONGRATS MR. SANDLER!

[@wesleynorree8599]

This guy is a LEGEND and ALLWAYS be remembered as a LEGEND no matter what! Big Respect for this guy!

[@Gxldxn95]

I literally, shed some tears. It's like he's all of our dads growing up with his films. Super happy for him.

[@tameshewolf]

This is the sweetest speech ever! What a gem of a person!

[@francelinamommyof3]

This is why I love Adam and supports him in all he does! He’s not only a humbled funny guy, he’s also genuine, a true friend, and most of all a family man. You can tell her truly loves and cares for his wife and daughters. And of course his parents. This was a very WELL DESERVED AWARD. Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊 ❤

[@stevenpillay5688]

His movies are filled with love and kindness. His loyalty to his friends and his family shows his humanity. He is such a wonderful actor and a human being.

[@JoeZaccaris]

That's what I love about his movies --- the ending is always about love and friendship and not bitterness and hate

[@stevenpillay5688]

@@JoeZaccaris yes and he has such a air of humility. I am so glad to see that we still have hope when I see people like him and you too Joe. Have a wonderful day.

[@SRT_LUNATIC]

My favorite thing about Adam is when he speaks, no matter where he’s at or what he’s dressed in, he speaks to the audiences, and the camera, like you’re his friend 🥹

[@kurtdowney1489]

That teared me up many times, And it is beautiful.

[@ballen8905]

Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Waterboy defined comedy for a generation. Kudos Sandler!

[@joebroadbeef332]

That's 100% true.
